I mean...that could work. It's still a Kasden script, so having someone as reliable as Howard has potential for a fun movie.
Still a bummer, though.

Rush has a 75 Meta, 8.6 user avg (meta), was 89% fresh, has an 88% audience score on RT and an 8.1 on IMDB.
It's definitely what one would consider "great", when looking at 5 very popular review aggregators (critical and user score)
Three-quarters of the way through filming, and bringing in Ron Howard. What a wild ride.
I imagine he'll finish what they have planned, but with his own style, and then reshoot the 75% done already during the reshoot time likely in the fall. I don't think any of Lord and Miller's footage is going to make its way into the final film.
It'll be super interesting to see when we might get a trailer. If it doesn't hit around or with The Last Jedi, they are scrapping everything they did.

It depends on the project and Howard's level of engagement.

Does this movie really need to get made that bad?

This pretty much confirms that Miller & Lord were making a pretty out there film. Howard is safe as fuck.

Same.
He's a safe choice, but that's all he is. Because of that the film (or whatever's left of it) probably won't be a dumpster fire in the end if he's involved.
I'd personally lose a bit of my soul if I said rogue one was "great".
Serviceable movie with decent action, horrendous script ( nothing new for Star Wars granted ) and bland characters.
We're talking about "Rush" by Ron Howard
You think it's a better option to flush the hundred million plus spent down the toilet instead?

Not the worst choice I guess. Rush was a pretty good movie. Such a bizarre situation though.

Ron Howard is vanilla incarnate.
A funnier choice would be my man Brett Ratner.

Kadsan was in the cut seething. "God dammit Kathleen, I didn't wait all these years for barely any of my dialogue to be used! Get these fools out of here!"

Wes Anderson should be on this. This is his big chance.
As awesome as it would be, Wes Anderson writes ALL of the stuff he directs.

This isn't going to magically become a Ron Howard movie, just like Rogue One didn't become a Tony Gilroy movie
They're getting a pro to line shit back up with the screenplay the way Kasdan/Kennedy want. Whatever Howard does is likely not going to be enough to either take Lord & Miller's names off the credit block, or get his name put on it.
If they get him, they're getting Opie to coast this over the finish line and into the editing room where they can cut things into the shape they want. That's it.

Well said
Lucasfilm. Disney doesn't have any creative control over Star Wars. I don't know why people insist on this assumption that Disney calls any shots over there. This is not new information.
They just need someone to put the pieces together competently. Howard could do this in his sleep.
Lol why? He's certainly better than Lord & Miller.

Ya'll just gotta hold onto the faith that this will be Beautiful Mind-caliber.
